2:56
the time. He's still I letter, I've done the time. You

up to recommendation there, and I've watched a, I'm up
3:07
to about kind of six. I
3:09
a workplace comedy it drama but
3:12
set in an orchestra. So lots
3:14
of egos and personalities within
3:16
a Danish orchestra. orchestra. Lead
3:19
exactly. And then there's then
3:21
like the first year. Like the

of course there's the a all the
3:31
creatives second chair. And all the people in
3:33
the office who run orchestra, all the
3:35
got your visiting versus all the
3:37
know, in the office who run the office. it's
3:39
just a really good idea to
3:42
set it. I haven't been to
3:44
many classical classical concerts I've been to
3:46
a few to always amazed me how

9:59
gluten free. Gluten free. dairy free that's why
10:01

10:03
glute we have a few gluten free
10:05
listeners it's good for gluten free listeners
10:08
and for vegans yeah dairy free as
10:10
well but they are they are odd
10:12
they're weird they are odd I think
10:14
the raspberry sugar but one is better
10:17
than the brown one what are they
10:19
made what are no more I've got
10:21
I don't want to hashtag it or
10:23
whatever I'm gonna I'm gonna Walk back
10:26
my criticism and say good on them
10:28
for trying to make something good. I
10:30
just did I just did a blood
10:32
test and I've got the gluten the
10:35
gluten gene what it was called. Does
10:37
that mean you're a celiac? Only 1%
10:39
of people are celiacs that said. But
10:41
are you 1%? No. But 40% of
10:44
people have the gluten allergy gene and
10:46
I've got it. But you're not celiac.
10:48
I don't think I'm a celiac. No.
10:50
How do you get to be in
10:53
the 1% percent group? Oh you got
10:55
to do a lot of tests and
10:57
stuff. I think you feel really serious.
11:00
You got to do a lot of
11:02
attention seeking. Oh come on right in
11:04
now to Courtney and complain about what
11:06
I just said. My doctor who's been
11:09
a doctor he's as old as me
11:11
and he goes I haven't yet to
11:13
meet one celiac and he's and a
11:15
lot of people said he said look
11:18
a lot of people have celiac adjacent.
11:20
disorder. Yeah, disorder. Yeah. And he said,
11:22
and a lot of people react bad
11:24
to gluten, but they're not celiacs. Yes,
11:27
I think a lot of people are
11:29
gluten intolerant, but not necessarily a celiacs.
11:31
But it's a word that people throw
11:33
around. It's like ADHD, because I've got
11:36
a lot of friends in comedy that
11:38
say I've got ADHD, and they're all,
11:40
except for one guy, except for Tom
11:42
Siger, who actually went to see someone
11:45
and got, you got a psychologist. Yeah,
11:47
well I think everyone's diagnosed himself with
11:49
ADHD. Anyway, look if you really have
11:51
it like Tom had and get medication
11:54
and stuff, it can be, it can
11:56
change your life. But it is very
11:58
popular. It's very popular. What
12:06
is next? Okay so next we're
12:08
going to try milk, what is
12:10
next? Okay so next we're going
12:12
to try milk chocolate white cream
12:15
sanders again from the chocolate box
12:17
because I've been doing a bit
12:19
of... I love airports. I also
12:21
like, I don't know why I
12:23
find the chocolate box shop comforting.
12:25
Even though they still haven't returned
12:27
the proper chocolate to their pretzels,
12:29
despite everything else in that shop
12:31
being real chocolate, they refused to
12:33
put real chocolate on the pretzels.
12:35
And despite your emails. And in
12:37
the Melbourne airport, they're still in
12:39
the corridor. They are in the
12:41
corridor, yeah. And the ladies said
12:43
it makes it really hard to
12:45
go to the toilet. Wow. Because
12:47
she's got to close up her
12:49
shop. Yeah, she got to put
12:51
all nets and stuff over it.
12:53
Just leave. Just go. That's what
12:55
I said. Oh look after it,
12:57
you go. She comes back, I've
12:59
got a little chocolate on my
13:01
face. How'd you go? Yeah, fine.
13:03
Okay, so these are nice little
13:05
four-wept centers. They do look good.
13:07
And they're supposed to have like
13:09
a white cream center. It's not
13:11
really any flavor, is it? I
13:13
don't mind it. What's that like?
13:15
That's a little bit European or
13:17
something. Yeah. It's not Marsapani, but
13:19
it kind of is Marsapani. Marsapan,
13:21
interestingly, being one of the oldest
13:23
Christmas treats. It's been a long
13:25
time since we've had lame research
13:27
on this podcast Dave. Well, you've
13:29
done a bit. Okay, Marsapam was
13:31
a Christmas cheat. Marsapam was, yeah,
13:33
one of the first kind of
13:35
sweeties. and yeah was used at
13:37
Christmas. The Germans and the Austrians
13:39
are always into Mazzapin. And they
13:41
were being developed. adopters of Christmas,
13:43
weren't that? Yeah, and that's going
13:45
to bring us up to our
13:47
next. Well, isn't it interesting to
13:49
me? I haven't mentioned anyone mentioned
13:51
Mars or Panty, other night I
13:53
was doing a gig, and I've
13:55
got this bit where I talk
13:57
about how vaping is targeted to
13:59
young people with bubble gum and
14:01
stuff, and we should bring in
14:03
flavors than only old people like.
14:05
Run and raisin. Old gold. Were
14:07
there's originals. That's what I do
14:09
that one, don't worry. Marsapan and
14:11
gets nothing I go yeah no
14:13
no I don't think anyone knows
14:15
what it is but it's a
14:17
good guess I think you're right
14:19
I think you're right he was
14:21
too abovey station there yeah yeah
14:23
he was too smart yeah too
14:25
smart for the average crowd so
14:27
I was funny that you mention
14:29
Marsapan because this guy yelled out
14:32
the other night well they they
14:34
often have these um Christmas treats
14:36
you used to always be able
14:38
to buy them in David Jones
14:40
they were I think Austrian and
14:42
they were always like chocolate wrapped
14:44
Marsapan Oh yes! Remember that? Yeah,
14:46
yeah, and also, yeah, yeah, and
14:48
nugar. And as a kid, you'd
14:50
always kind of just suck the
14:52
chocolate off and spit the Mars
14:54
Pan. Yeah, Mars Pan was weird.
14:56
It's like a nugari kind of.
14:58
Well, it's a weird texture and
15:00
it's almond-flavored. Yeah, that makes it
15:02
difficult. I actually don't mind it,
15:04
but just a little bit. I
15:06
didn't ever want those Marsapan fruits.
15:08
You know how they mold whole
15:10
fruits out of Marsapan Marsapan and
15:12
then colour of Marsapan pan and
15:14
then colour them, and then colour
15:16
them. The icing is marzapping on
15:18
a wedding cake. Yeah. Because you
15:20

15:42
facts for you. Not fun facts.
15:44
It's lame research. More lame research.
15:46
You've been working. Well, I felt
15:48
like we haven't done any lame
15:50
research on this podcast for a
15:52
long time and I thought that's
15:54
really lame. That we haven't even,
15:56
like how lame is that? It's
15:58
like lame. squared we
16:00
haven't done any done
16:02
any. But candy canes invented around
16:04
1640 in 1640. the
16:06
German. Germany. choir Of course
16:09
wanted to shut the kids up like you
16:11
know while who wanted to. was shut
16:13
the kids up. I went to the candy
16:15
you know, while the performance was happening. So I
16:17
went to sugar and said, can you give me
16:19
some sugar sticks? like give them shut the kids
16:21
up put in their their mouth. That one wanted
16:23
something big in their mouth in their mouth. And he said,
16:25
bend and bend the top of them. So
16:27
the story goes, bend them around so that
16:29
they. they are like a a shepherd's crook so
16:31
bit more a bit more the nativity scene
16:34
but they were white until the the they
16:36
didn't put the stripes on them until

you could actually get a platter
26:37
together. Candy cane, kit cats. I
26:39
mean they're not great but they
26:41
are again they're a conversation starter.
26:43
Yeah they look festive and they'll
26:45
be. I would say why not
26:48
bring out these things and put
26:50
a spittoon in the middle of
26:52
the table. Do some Christmas spitten.
26:54
And time it so when Uncle
26:56
Kevin goes. You know this this
26:58
